[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1892559, member: 75105"]Not sure. There are all kinds of different storage environments coins are stored in and each one is a special recipe for how a coin will look. Even sunlight will tone coins. I left a untoned mercury dime on the dash of my car all winter and it toned. Cigar smoke, living near the ocean, living near a factory, sunlight, extreme swings in temperature, can all cause a coin to tone. Toning is basically a nice way of saying the metal of the coin had a chemical reaction with something.[/QUOTE]
